Roy Thinnes is a television and film actor best known for his role of David Vincent in the ABC series The Invaders (1967-1968). He also portrayed the character Alfred Wentworth in the pilot episode of Law & Order on NBC in 1990.

I liked the Invaders back in the day…now, having just purchased both seasons through Amazon, I am really hooked. we watch one or two episodes after dinner every night…soon, I will watch it by my self. I am retired and she works, so I have the time to see what I really enjoy over and over.. I worked for the L.A. Times when he was doing the series…and now live in a Chicago suburb. An interesting note, to me, anyway.I have just downloaded all of the You Tube episodes of The Long Hot Summer. Awesome. Truly. He is a few months older than me, but we both look amazing. lol. Happy belated Birthday, Roy Thinnes, aka David Vincent. Live Long and Prosper.

I grew up watching Roy perform in numerous series. always turning in a great performance regardless of the role. But his lead role in The Invaders was truly memorable for me at the age of 18 back in 1967. I’m now watching it again on You Tube, and brings back many fond memories of the great writing, acting and directing that took place in those days gone past. What truly amazing is how somewhat prescient The Invaders was in many respects regarding modern Ufology. Happy birthday, Roy Thinnes, you were truly one in a million. It’s sad not seeing you on the screen any more.
